...Xiuyuan Li; Junyi Dong; Xiaoting Guo Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a high-precision self-supervised monocular visual odometry ( VO ) framework for navigation in complex underwater environments. Design/methodology/approach An uncertainty-aware underwater image enhancement...

... and precise method for visual navigation. Design/methodology/approach The authors present and evaluate methods for their solution such as wireless networked control, highly distinctive feature descriptors (HDF) and a visual odometry system. Findings Proposed feature descriptors achieve significant...
